My story starts when I was four years old, when one evening I wandered into the. My poor mother lay so still and alone on the pavement I really wished at that moment to be dead by her side. I was unable to move until one of them reached over and gave me a strong shove. Their faces began to run also, so all I could see were two ugly blobs with dark spots for eyes and distorted, grotesque moving mouths. They called for me to get moving, but their voices seemed to be coming as from underwater I could not quite make out what they were saying. By Mary Harris and Alicia Montgomery March 16, 202111:54 AM A man walks. I will never know why he did not reload or why the other SS man did not shoot me, but for some reason they decided to take me to prison instead. Her Assignment, It Was Done on This Earth The story of one death out of the 530,000 Americans we’ve lost to COVID-19. He had used his last bullet to kill my mother. He pulled the trigger again, but again nothing. He pulled the trigger, but this time there wasw only a clicking noise. She had thrown herself between me and my murderer and had been hit by the bullet meant for me.Īs I looked up dumbly from my mother's body I could see the cruel face of her killer, and his gun now pointing at me. I heard the gun go off, and suddenly my mother lay dead at my feet. What happened next only added to the nightmare. Whether it was because my mother was with me, or because I was numb from a week of suffering or simply because I had no chance to run away from this death, I was not afraid at all. Except for us and the two SS men, the street was empty.Īs we stood there shivering, clinging to each other, one of the SS men stepped back, drew his pistol and aimed it right at me. I helped my mother up and together we strugged out into the street.


"Out! Make it quick, you damned Jews!" one of them shouted.

Suddenly the door was kicked completely off its hinges and two large SS men stormed in.
